Lookin’ at U — Deanna Hansen

picture disc.Quick, think of five things others should know about you. That's the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called "Lookin' at U." Each Thursday, we randomly select a medical center employee to feature. This week, we feature Deanna Hansen, office associate in the department of internal medicine, section of infectious diseases.

Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Deanna:

  • My dad sleeps in the bedroom he was born in 84 years ago on our family farm northwest of Omaha.
  • In 2002, I placed second in the women's division of the Nebraska State Hand Corn Husking Contest in Columbus. I was asked to participate in the National Corn Husking Contest in Indiana, but due to my work schedule, I was unable to participate. I participated again in 2003 in Columbus to beat the first place gal, but I placed second again.
  • I love to go to concerts with my husband, Steve. I have been to more than 150 concerts from A to Z (AC/DC to ZZ Top). My last concert was Bon Jovi, who seems to be my favorite as I have seen them (it is a group, you know) about five times. The next concert I want to see is Adam Lambert on June 10 at Harrah's Stir Cove in Council Bluffs.
  • I have worked two jobs for more than 20 years, a full-time job at UNMC in infectious diseases and my part-time job doing transcription (17 years at Children's Physicians and three years at The Nebraska Medical Center in the radiology department) to keep up my "habit" of going to concerts.
  • I love the College World Series! I have gone at least for the past 10 years. I take the whole week off. Hopefully I will get to see a couple of games at Rosenblatt Stadium this year, but the tickets sound like they are hard to come by.
